Calmbirth is Australia’s most highly acclaimed, recommended, TRUSTED and scientifically proven face to face childbirth education program in Australia. The Calmbirth course is a comprehensive 12-hour in-person antenatal course that focuses on psychological and emotional preparation for childbirth. It aims to change perspectives on birth and empower women to collaborate with their bodies, partners, and healthcare providers to achieve the most positive birth experience possible. Couples who participate will gain skills to manage the stress responses, build confidence, and actively engage in the birthing process rather than reacting passively. The program incorporates techniques for releasing fears through guided relaxation, facilitating emotional healing surrounding childbirth anxieties, and fostering a more positive mindset towards the birthing experience.
The ideal time to attend a Calmbirth course is between 24-35 weeks of pregnancy.
Private health care rebates may also apply. Check with your health fund.
Calmbirth classes are held in one of the beautiful, unique and historical buildings of the University of Notre Dame, Fremantle. Known by the university as ND36- School of Education the site originally housed a wealthy old widow by the name of Mrs Agett. In 1899 the building became 'His Lordship's Larder Hotel' before being replaced by 'His Majesty's Hotel' in 1904. Over the years, the hotel changed proprietors and underwent various renovations, eventually becoming part of the University in 1994

I just wanted to let you know that I had my baby on 3/5, thanks to your class I felt like I knew exactly when to go to the family birthing centre! I was able to breathe through my contractions especially handy when I was transitioning ( a massive struggle in my last birth) and was able to make informed decisions based on information provided by the calm birth course for my labour and birth. Ending with me being able to deliver my baby with only gas & air for medical pain relief. Thank you again, I’ll be recommending your class to all of my pregnant friends.
I recently attended the Calmbirth Course facilitated by Shanae along with my husband. Shanae's expertise in the field of childbirth was evident from the get-go and her calm and positive demeanour made us feel instantly comfortable, creating an environment where asking questions felt natural. Throughout the sessions, Shanae meticulously covered all aspects of pregnancy and birth. Her ability to explain things in a way that resonated with us ensured that we not only understood the process but also felt empowered by the knowledge gained. Thanks to Shanae's guidance, we walked away from the course feeling significantly more prepared for the journey ahead. The insights we gained were invaluable, equipping us with the confidence to navigate all aspects of pregnancy and birth. I highly recommend the Calmbirth Course with Shanae to any expectant parents seeking a comprehensive and supportive approach to childbirth education.
Shanae delivered this course in the most welcoming and comforting way, me and my wife have gone from being nervous, to confident and excited with the birth of our baby boy only 4weeks away. All thanks to Shanae and this course. The content is informative, and the group setting is perfect for having conversations with people experiencing the same thing, everyone expecting should do this course.
My husband and I really loved the course. It ensured that we were aligned on what we wanted, gave him the knowledge on how to be there for me, and I feel much closer to him and supported by him now. We are very excited about the birth.
